It Would SUCK to Be a Reds Fan...

[Hosak8]

Found this little nugget on CBS Sportsline this morning...

 

"Reds president and chief executive officer Bob Castellini says general manager Wayne Krivsky's job is safe and he is pleased with the direction of the club, as reported by the Cincinnati Post."

 

What?!?

 

 

 

Seriously, what?!?

It must suck to be a fan of them..But im sure fans or people of any other orginazation must say it must be horrible to be a Cubs fan seeing that we have the longest championship drought in all of sports.

That's pretty much what every team president/owner says just before firing the GM.

Oh, I can see saying all kinds of things. Saying your happy with the direction of htis team, thoug, is ludicrous. I realize it's August and hotter than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest, but do you see the number of fans in the stands at Reds games these days? Never in a million years would "happy with the direction of this team" come out of my mouth.

 

They're old, and likely losing the players that fans still care to see in Griffey and Dunn. They have some talent in the minors, but not nearly enough to make you think that they can compete by building from within, and a GM who has made it evident that they won't compete by building from outside the organization. Basically, they won't be competetive for a long time, barring an unforeseen miracle.

 

Make up lies, Castellini, but at least make them believable.

Same here. Unless there were a team that was dumb enough that Jack Wilson, Cesar Izturis, and Matt Morris comprised half their payroll. But that could never happen, so I don't feel sorry for anyone.

Oh right. Well he's actually producing now, so maybe he won't turn out to be so bad for them...

and we're after posednik to fix our punchless outfield . . . wow, it must really suck to be a cubs fan.

[Hosak8]

Not gonna happen, but still interesting...

 

"One bad rumor making the rounds has Jocketty and La Russa taking charge in Cincinnati. The impetus for the rumor: Reds owner Bob Castellini owned a small part of the Cardinals and, as such, admires the organization. Reality: No way La Russa goes near a team unless it has a chance to compete."

[Ding Dong Johnson]

he's just hoping to lose enough games to keep fans out of the seats so he can move the team to Miami
